Here are another two opinions concerning schools:
Quote:
Expose poor school policies
How sad but refreshing to hear from the teachers who have written in, the ones in the trenches, about their struggles in the classroom.
Many of us who know or were teachers ourselves appreciate their frustrations.
I encourage more of them to vent to the media about the handcuffs our liberal policy-makers shackle them with.
And their venting isn't whining. It's education!

Stick to education
Regarding the article "Food for thought" (April 3), how incredibly ludicrous that school officials think that providing free breakfast or lunch is a way to increase test scores.
The responsibility for feeding these children lies squarely on the shoulders of the parents. It is not the responsibility of the county, state, teacher or school district to provide for them.
There are numerous resources for low-income families to secure healthy and nutritious food, but they must be willing to sign up and follow the rules for such programs.
Schools are not restaurants or soup kitchens. Schools exist to provide education and inspire young people to gain knowledge and learn skills for future success.
